Peanut Butter Tagalong Dip
I love it when my fondness for reading and cooking coincide. Hosting my book club each year is such an occasion—and the perfect opportunity to test out new recipes.
Thank goodness my friends are willing to be my guinea pigs. This group of bright, articulate, and caring women has been meeting monthly since my youngest, Nick, was 3 years old. He’s now a junior in college.
We’ve been through lots of life’s milestones together, as well as loads of books, food, and, of course, wine. Over the next month or so, I’ll share many of the sweet and savory dishes I served. For those of you fellow bibliophiles, here is a list of the books we’ve read over the last two decades. Since March 25th was Chocolate Peanut Butter Day, I knew I’d need to serve a decadent treat using this classic combination.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip
We are a house divided when it comes to this classic combination of flavors. My two oldest love everything Reese’s, where Nick and the hubby like their peanut butter on sandwiches only.
I’m in the former category, so I have been antsy to make another dessert dip after the success of my Cookie Dough Dip a couple of years ago. The concept was quite similar, mixing butter, sugar, and cream cheese. But adding some creamy peanut butter and mini chocolate chips provided the quintessential combination.
My version was flavored with a modicum of peanut butter, perfect for my palate. Feel free to taste, then add another 1/4 cup or more for a stronger peanut butter flavor. Vanilla wafers and Tagalong cookies were used as dippers, but graham crackers would also suffice. If you’re on Team Chocolate and Peanut Butter, you’ll swoon when you taste this chocolate peanut butter Tagalong Dip.
My family also loves this Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse Cake, these Homemade Reese’s Bars, Peanut Butter Cookie Cups, and these Rolo Peanut Blossoms. I think you will, too!

Mmm, I know this is good. I have a low-carb version of this. 🙂
Tagalongs dunked into Tagalong DIP – over the top chocolate peanut butter goodness!!
I think it is one of the best comos, love Reeses. And I like the idea of a sweet dip, no veggies here 🙂
This dip is really etonant! when did you spell your cookbook? With all the recipes you did I think you can write your own book 😉
What a delicious dip Liz…I can imagine how this must taste…creamy, buttery…yum! Great combination!
Hope you are having a fun week 🙂
I am swooning, Liz! How very fantabulous that you have lifelong friends with whom you have enjoyed good books, wine and your gorgeously good desserts!
This looks like HEAVEN, Liz! I adore Tagalongs and I know I’d flip for this dip! Pinning!
I may just have to make this for my brother’s birthday – he’d devour it!
You’re fortunate to have such a strong support group.
This looks downright amazing!
This dip would disappear in no time at my house!
A fun dip to share with family and friends!
This is such a fun dip, Liz! Chocolate and peanut butter is the best combo!
Holy wow. I think this bowl of delish might just be the thing to win the heart of the boy I like. 🙂
Fabulous combo of flavours.
I think this would also taste great on bananas! This is dangerous stuff for me. I am downloading that list in the hopes I can find some good new books. Thank, Liz!
Nick and your hubby would love it here in Oz. We tend to only put peanut butter on our toast! I have never heard of tagalong dip. I love how it’s presented and decorated with the peanut butter cups (we’ve only recently been able to buy peanut butter cups in Oz – they were something Aussies always brought back from their trips to the USA xx
What you say we have a dip date, Liz?! After all, two bowls are better than one!
Oh boy – that looks absolutely delicious Liz!!! Perfect for the Easter buffet table!
Dear Lizzy, I would be dipping all night long!! I love peanut butter and this looks wonderful. I am sure the book club enjoyed it. xoxo Catherine
We have the same thing here, the boys like the combo and Mark likes peanut butter only on sandwich bread. Now he eats chocolate and he eats peanut butter so we can never figure out why the combination of the two don’t work for him. Go figure. Funny that Bill is the same way. It all looks like a great way to serve it all up!
Get out! That looks SOOOOOO good!!!
